Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 182 Go find it, I've hidden the secret in the Nanga River!

Morning peacock.

I've used Mighty many times, but never have I felt this good.

After landing, he kicked the other person's corpse.

"Damn it!"

Might Guy took a breath and then deactivated the Eight Gates Formation within his body.

Behind them, Shusaku Tsukikage, who was holding a knife and in a state of invisible escape, looked stunned and incredulous.

Although he knew about the Eight Gates Formation and had heard of the power of this forbidden technique, hearing about it and witnessing it firsthand were two completely different things.

The scene before my eyes was truly shocking.

Matt Day muttered a few words, then scratched his head, looking somewhat puzzled—

"Huh! When a flying lightning array comes, doesn't it usually have a landing point?"

Although he didn't know the specific principles of the Flying Thunder Formation technique, he vaguely remembered that there was a marker that would be left after teleportation and usually needed to be retrieved.

Then...

Matt Day then looked around.

"Shinobu Dai, what are you looking for?"

Moonlight Show makes an appearance.

Might Guy was startled and launched a flying kick—

This is simply because the body reacts faster than the brain.

Finally, he stopped using force.

"Ahem, sorry!"

"It's nothing, I'm relieved to see you're still full of energy."

Hideaki Tsukiko let out a sigh of relief.

This forbidden technique, at this level, caused absolutely no harm after being used...

That's amazing!

"It's nothing. It's just opening six doors. The damage isn't that great, it's just a bit tiring, but I'm used to it."

Matt Daly chuckled.

Then, he reached out to pick up the body.

Hideaki Tsukikage immediately stopped him: "No need for that!"

Then, he took out the scroll and sealed it directly.

By now, he probably understood why they had such formidable combat power.

Although Might Guy possessed formidable taijutsu skills and was terrifying and versatile enough after opening the Eight Gates, he was indeed severely lacking in many aspects.

Basically, he's unlikely to become a Jonin leading regular missions, but he can participate in some S-rank missions.

but.

In peacetime, S-class missions are usually very rare.

but.

Having such people in the village, who also enjoy exercising and playing sports, makes one feel incredibly safe.

……

"He's still alive, don't worry. Haiyi, investigate."

Tsunade, carrying the Kusanagi no Yaijin, still had anger on her face, but she still provided some medical support.

Then, she walked toward the boy who was standing blankly in front of the wooden house.

Although the flames had been extinguished, there was no doubt that the body inside had been burned beyond recognition, even—

None of them were intact.

Exploding tags and water-style ninjutsu scattered the corpse into pieces, leaving only a rough outline.

Tsunade frowned, then looked at Obito beside her.

She vaguely remembered that the family here was an elderly woman, and she probably didn't have a direct relationship with Obito.

How did the two of them get together?

and.

It seems that Obito was still very sad after the other person died.

"Obito..."

Tsunade had only uttered two words when she saw Obito turn his head to look at her, the bloodshot in his eyes gradually fading.

Two-comma jewels.

Are you alright?

"It's nothing, thank you, Hokage-sama."

He wiped away his tears with soil.

He looked at the house, his eyes filled with confusion: "Hokage-sama, why are there wars in the world?"

"this……"

Tsunade remained silent.

She really couldn't answer that question.

Peace, war.

This is an age-old mystery in the ninja world, and to this day, no one has been able to solve it.

After thinking for a long time, she looked at the wooden house and said, "Between countries, where territories are adjacent, there will always be many problems due to conflicts of interest and unfulfilled desires."

She knew a little about Obito.

Not smart.

His academic performance was very poor; before, when academic subjects were still taught, he was consistently at the bottom of the class.

but.

Since the change in format, the proportion of academic subjects has decreased, while the proportion of elective courses such as ninjutsu and taijutsu has increased, and Obito's grades have gradually improved.

While he may not be outstanding in many areas, his ninjutsu is certainly commendable.

of course.

What Tsunade liked most was Obito's kindness.

and so.

"When problems become too numerous to be resolved through dialogue and communication, war ensues..."

"Is it impossible to eliminate war and achieve complete peace?"

Obito's eyes were filled with confusion.

Tsunade couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, and said, "Do you know my grandfather?"

"Grandfather...the First Hokage?"

Obito's memory for knowledge wasn't very good, but he still remembered the relationship between Tsunade and Hashirama Senju.

and.

He also knew that Hashirama Senju had maintained peace in the ninja world for over a decade!

When the First Hokage was mentioned, his face was filled with admiration.

Tsunade sighed, "Even my grandfather only maintained peace for a short period of time. After he passed away, the ninja world quickly descended into chaos, and that led to the First Shinobi World War..."

These……

Obito didn't know.

He was deeply shocked by what he heard, and at the same time felt an indescribable sadness and despair.

He was not despairing that the "old woman" could not be brought back to life.

Just as the old woman said.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the most helpless yet natural things in the world. The other person is old and has already come to terms with it.

What drove him to despair was—

Even Hashirama Senju couldn't maintain complete peace in the ninja world, so what could a ninja with mediocre talent like him do?

Obito stared at the house before him and fell silent.

peace.

That was really tough!

He helped set up a grave, then left without lingering in the place.

Obito felt—

He never wanted to go back to this place again.

……

After everyone left, a person emerged from the ground, his shadow twisting and merging with it.

"How cruel!"

"A heartless person wouldn't care about these things, but this Uchiha would care a lot about them."

Black Zetsu chuckled.

The first step of the plan is complete!

The moment you open your eyes, you'll see two tomoe.

It's perfect!

Even Madara Uchiha was only at this level back then, not even as good as Obito.

The power of the freckles...

The reason lies in his own strong abilities. For Madara, the Sharingan is merely a tool to reach the strongest, not something he relies on.

Obito is different.

This guy's talent is average, but he's very sentimental and his emotions fluctuate wildly...

"His eyes might be even more useful than Ban's!"

Maybe.

This guy is my most perfect creation.

Black Zetsu thought to himself.

Bai Jue, unaware of his thoughts, sighed and then disappeared into the ground, walking out as they went: "So, what should we do next? Kill his other grandmother?"

"How could they be so cruel?"

Black Zetsu smiled faintly and said, "I wonder if the Uchiha clan still remembers someone named Uchiha Madara?"

……

the next morning.

Inside the Uchiha clan's territory, Obito found Shisui and hurriedly went up to ask him a question.

"Hashirama Senju? Why are you asking that?"

Shisui looked at Obito with a puzzled expression.

This cousin...

strange.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to find out more. I didn't know much about him before, just how strong is he?"

Obito asked.

His understanding of Hashirama Senju was limited to impressions such as "invincible" and "god of ninjas," and nothing more.

Shisui thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you know Uchiha Madara?"

"Uchiha Madara? I know him, but I don't know much about him."

Obito shook his head.

All he knew was...

Madara Uchiha was a very strong ninja in the clan, but he was once forbidden from being mentioned by the clan members, and in recent years fewer and fewer people know about him.

Helpless, Zhishui had no choice but to start explaining the science to him from the beginning.

After a bit of science explanation...

Obito understands.

Madara Uchiha was very powerful and great in his time. He participated in the construction of the village. Later, they parted ways because of various ideological conflicts.

but.

Hashirama Senju was even stronger; even Madara Uchiha was no match for him.

"No wonder!"

Obito sighed.

People like this include Uchiha Madara...

The two had joined forces and cooperated, but they still couldn't achieve peace in the ninja world. What could one person do alone?

He remained silent for a few seconds, then stood up and thanked them.

Shisui watched him leave, feeling that Obito was acting strangely today. He chased after him, asking, "Obito, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just feel like I've suddenly grown up, but I'm also more confused."

Obito sighed.

He used to never think about heavy things like war, peace, or life and death; he would only chase after Lin.

And now.

The more you know, the more troubles you have.

Zhi Shui smiled and said, "Everyone goes through this stage."

"what?"

Obito looked down at Shisui, who was shorter than him, and said, "Have you ever been in a similar situation?"

"Yes, why wouldn't you?"

Shisui nodded, then shared a small part of his troubles with Obito—

Basically, it only talks about the current situation of the Uchiha clan and the contradictions and conflicts between them and the villagers.

Obito listened, his heart heavy.

Is the Uchiha clan also facing a crisis?

I felt absolutely nothing...

At that moment, he suddenly realized that he had been too arrogant.

Maybe.

I haven't grown up yet.

Obito glanced at Shisui and sighed heavily, "Compared to you, I always feel like I'm more of a child."

"Obito is also excellent."

"Tch! Let's go!"

Obito waved and ran away quickly.

If it were the old him, he would definitely have shown off his awakened Sharingan to Shisui, demonstrating that he was indeed a genius and even more talented than Shisui.

But now.

He suddenly lost interest.

like……

That kind of behavior was indeed very childish and didn't resemble the demeanor of a normal elder.

Obito silently left to continue his training.

We still need to improve our strength!

If he had been strong enough, he wouldn't have been powerless to stop his opponent from dying yesterday, and wouldn't have even been captured by him.

If it weren't for Tsunade saving him, he might be dead now, or have had his eyes gouged out by her.

Obito's steps were heavy.

Shisui watched Obito leave, then fell into deep thought.

What happened to Obito?

"If only the senior were here, he would definitely know the news."

Zhi Shui sighed inwardly.

pity.

During this time, he did not see Kyohiko appear by the lake, nor did he see Kakashi in the village, which showed that these people must have gone out to carry out important missions.

Is the ninja world about to descend into chaos again?

He couldn't help but feel a little worried.

……

In the afternoon, Obito considered going to talk to Rin Nohara.

But I didn't see Lin at all.

He returned home dejectedly.

That night, on his way back home from his clan's territory, Obito overheard people talking.

Do you know the Namaka River?

"Naga Shrine?"

Obito's ears twitched, and he quickly moved closer to the wall. On the other side of the wall, he saw a child and an old man sitting opposite each other.

"Yes, the Naka River, that's where the Uchiha clan rose to power, our ancient territory, but sadly it's abandoned now!"

The old man sighed.

"Nanga River..."

The child muttered to himself.

The old man nodded: "No matter what, you must remember the Naka River and the Naka Shrine over there. That is where our pride lies, where the legacy of our Uchiha clan is buried!"

He finished speaking with a deep sense of pride.

The child nodded.

"Grandpa, I will definitely remember this!"

"Um."

The old man nodded in satisfaction.

Obito outside was stunned for a moment.

Nanhe River.

What kind of place is that, where the "legacy" of the Uchiha clan is hidden?

He paused slightly, then quickly ran home.

With a map at home, I'm sure I can find the Naga River.

Before long, Obito pulled out an old map from his house, which depicted the terrain around Konoha. However, it was clear that many of the areas on the map represented the areas that had now been expanded.

however.

There was a place up there that he had never seen on the map of Konoha before.

Nanhe River!

The place where the Uchiha clan rose to power.

At night, he quietly slipped out of his clan's territory and headed towards Nanhechuan.

He ran wildly, got lost, corrected his direction, and ran wildly again until late at night, when he finally arrived at the so-called Naka River and found the Naka Shrine.

This so-called "place of rise".

Just as Obito was getting excited, he heard a noise.

He immediately hid.

Then, Obito saw the elders of the clan emerge from one place, with Fugaku Uchiha being the last to walk out.

The patriarch of the family!

He was astonished.

Do the elders and important figures in the family all know the secret of the Nanga Shrine?!

Why don't they tell everyone!

Obito was both surprised and angry, feeling that these people were hiding secrets and deceiving their clansmen, while at the same time becoming increasingly curious about the secrets inside.

After waiting for a long time, until he himself was getting sleepy, the people on the other side finally left.

Obito carefully crept over.

After some searching, he found the entrance to the tunnel, and then...

at last.

He found the stone tablet.

There were some obscure words written on it that he couldn't understand at all, but at that moment, he glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and saw something in the dark corner.

The end of a scroll was faintly visible in the soil beneath the steps.

They dug away the soil, leaving the soil behind.

It really is a scroll!

He carefully dug it out and took out the scroll inside.

Upon opening it, he found the writing was old and worn, but the signature was from someone he hadn't expected—

Madara Uchiha!

Obito was very impressed.

This scroll was actually left behind by Madara Uchiha!

He looked at it eagerly.

Then, Obito's eyes changed from joy to surprise, and he immediately walked to the stone tablet and tried to open his eyes.

A short while later—

Through his two-tomoe Sharingan, he discovered that he could actually read the text.
